I don't know if it's an antique, but it looks like a French Laguiole knife to me. I suspect the blade read "Laguiole". The South African Okapi pocket knives are also of similar design.

Thaks Chris,

I took a lok at those sites you provided and the closest match ws the Okapi knives. The blade on the one that I have appears to start with Gu ?? I will keep searching. Thanks
